    Huge weekend where the oppurtunity is there for several teams to rule themselves in or out of the title battle and / or Europe.
    On Paper Rovers and Pats have probably there hardest games tonight of the run in and Derry and Shels their easiest (again on paper) ditto for Galway.
    But matches arent won on paper.
    Farrugia will play against both Drogs and Dundalk as he is suspended for Larne.
    Rovers have a terrible record in Louth but a win tonight would be a major step towards winning the league assuming Derry and Shels dont win all of their 3 remaining matches.
    In this league in this year who the hell knows

    Cant wait and actually got a ticket, going to be a great atmosphere and given how rubbish we have been all season the last 3 games have that new season excitement feeling. Getting 6 points in the wee county is a tough ask at the best of times even for good Rovers teams which we are not currently but its the hope that kills you.

    With people talking up Pat's title push it is where the wheels might come off their late push. Ideal results for Pat's tonight is that they win and their 3 title rivals lose. That will really set the Pats amongst the pigeons! Sorry, I couldn't resist!
    This evening could be the evening that Shels and Derry get back to winning ways. A Shels win with 2 games to go should nudge Pats out of the realistic title equation.
    Shamrock Rovers will be favourites tonight but it'll be some result for Drogheda if they can somehow win and go a point behind Bohs.
    For extra spice for the title race, I'd like to Pats at least 2 points off the top after half 9 this evening.

    A shels win wouldn’t change anything for Pats really in terms of an unlikely title win (provided Pats win that is). For a Pats title to happen they need shels to drop points in 2 of their 3 games and rovers to drop points in 1 of their 3 games, while winning all 3 of their own games. An unlikely series of events I would say but not impossible given how mad this seasons been. Given where Pats where at the start of last month I’d be delighted with 3rd, a title would be the stuff of dreams really

    Ah it does in fairness. Four points behind with two to play is different from two points behind with two to play. Yes, there's three teams to pass (one of whom ye have to play), but of all seasons, this is the one it'll happen in.

    A win for Shels tonight would be a huge result for them I think. Suddenly they could be hosting Drogheda next week where a win might even seal the title.

    this may sound like a stupid question as every fan wants to see their team win the league, but say it did happen for Pats, would it mean as much? You know, most of the year it wasnt even a remote possibility and then a run late in the season and others dropping poins. Say compared to Shels, Derry who have been in the mix all season, or even Rovers who have been threatening but only recently begun to motor?

    Well, a Shels win keeps them at least 4 ahead of Pats with 2 to go. Far less wiggle room. Drogheda could still be key though in respect of your point. If Shels win tonight and draw their final two, Shels finish on 59 points and if Pats somehow keep their remarkable run going to win their final three, Pats should nudge Shels on goal difference. Pat's still need Rovers to drop points in that scenario.

    It can be the hope that kills you. Pats probably won't hurt as much as Shels and Derry but it will be massively deflating if they run out of road.

    A win tonight would move us closer to a European place. I’d all but given up on getting Europe next season. The title talk for us is only a bit of craic and not to be taken seriously.

    The only team that has shown any consistency throughout the season has been Dundalk! Hands up who wouldnt be shocked if Derry lose tonight? Who would be shocked if Rovers lose tonight? Galway are about the only side that you could argue deserve the trophy (I wont say title as someone will jump up with the old 'team that finishes top deserve it' etc. but ye know what I mean, in relative terms they are team of the season). I'd like to see St Pats win it just because it would be bonkers really. Shels, bit like Derry, should have it done and dusted and its a pretty epic bottle job if they go the entire run in with a few points when even 2 more would have knocked the stuffing out of other late charges.

    It absolutely would be huge for Pats to do it. Having come from looking over our shoulder at a possible relegation play off not so long ago, to actually winning the league, would be the sweetest thing ever. The fact that we never thought we were in the race would just make it even better.

    Now, I don’t think we’ll do it, and would be more than happy with Europe. Just have a feeling Shels will win tonight, maybe even Derry too (shock !) which probably realistically would rule us out.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    None of the First Division playoff sides have even scored in the first half, and three are losing. Bray are the exception, and they've a second string team out it seems

    Chris Collopy off, not Caulfield. Ollie Horgan booked as well. United coaching staff disgracing themselves once again, the petulance is getting a bit old and tired at this stage
